"Watching & Praying" by Calm The Storm: Where Judgment Meets Hope


Calm The Storm, a Christian band founded by A.J. Ogg in 2025, released a song called "Watching & Praying." It is a captivating song that focusses on Christ's return. A.J. shares "Calm The Storm started as a natural and logical outworking of my faith. Faith is lived, not merely reasoned or reckoned." 

Calm The Storm - Watching & PrayingA.J.'s life changed in a way that he never expected in 2020. That is when he began to truly follow Jesus (which means obeying his teachings), and that decision started a radical transformation that continues to shape everything he does. He shares: "Following Him and helping others to do the same has become the focus of my life until He returns." This sets the stage for "Watching & Praying." 

The song is a call to action, a commitment: "We'll be watching and praying, until You come." There is nothing passive in watching: "We'll see You coming, on the clouds one day." This is about keep watch with anticipation, and not merely observing. It's also about knowing what to look for, and realizing what is coming and how we can best prepare ourselves for that moment. Christ's final judgment comes with the promise of a new age. The song is filled with anticipation, and there is no need for fear if we remain steadfast, keep the faith, and look forward to the return of Christ. 

So, are you ready to be inspired? Then press play and listen to "Watching & Praying" by Calm The Storm today!

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
